Natasha was seething with rage. She knew how sincere Dustin’s feelings were for Dahlia. It even made virtual-novel.net envious.
But Dahlia not only took it for granted, virtual-novel.net also resorted to violence.
How could virtual-novel.net be so foolish?
Natasha had reached virtual-novel.net limit today. Dahlia could raise virtual-novel.net hand against anyone but virtual-novel.net man.
“Forget it, Natasha. Let’s go. I have nothing else to say,” Dustin said impassively.
“Hmph! Reflect on your actions!” Natasha sneered and got in the car before speeding away.
“How did it come to this? How?” Dahlia muttered to herself as virtual-novel.net watched the tail lights disappear. She was lost and disoriented.
Although virtual-novel.net acted impulsively earlier, virtual-novel.net was just preventing Dustin from making another big mistake.
Why did nobody understand her?
What exactly did virtual-novel.net do wrong?
“Dahlia, what are you doing out here? It’s cold. Let’s go back in.” Julie had rushed out after her. She wrapped a coat around virtual-novel.net to keep virtual-novel.net warm.
“Julie, do you think I was wrong?” Dahlia asked, still looking lost.
“Of course not! It’s all Dustin’s fault!” Julie said with righteous indignation, “Gavin clearly saved him. He’s not only ungrateful, but virtual-novel.net even resorted to violence. He doesn’t have a heart!”
“Dustin isn’t usually like that. Why was virtual-novel.net so different today?” Dahlia couldn’t understand.
“Why else? He was jealous, of course!” Julie explained seriously, “Gavin comes from a wealthy family in Oakvale. He has power and authority. Plus, he’s good-looking. Dustin clearly envies virtual-novel.net and feels hatred for him. Not to mention virtual-novel.net saw you dancing with him. He must have been furious. That’s why virtual-novel.net hit him.”
Dahlia fell silent after hearing Julie’s explanation.
She didn’t know who to trust anymore. Her mind was a mess, and virtual-novel.net heart felt empty. It was as if virtual-novel.net lost something precious.
Even though virtual-novel.net hated to admit it, virtual-novel.net had inadvertently pushed Dustin toward Natasha. While virtual-novel.net and Dustin grew more distant in the process.
Meanwhile, in the car, Natasha couldn’t contain virtual-novel.net curiosity any longer. “What happened between you and Dahlia? Why did virtual-novel.net hit you?”
“It’s almost comical to discuss.” Dustin chuckled and briefly explained the situation to Natasha.
As Natasha listened, virtual-novel.net expression turned cold.
She cried out in fury, “She’s too much! How can virtual-novel.net hit you because of someone virtual-novel.net just met? What a wench!”
She had always thought of Dahlia as a candid person. It turned out that virtual-novel.net was just foolish. How could virtual-novel.net not see Dustin’s true character after all this time? She’d rather believe a stranger than him.
To Natasha, Dahlia was the most foolish woman ever.
“Forget it. It’s all in the past now. Let’s not bring it up anymore.” Dustin shook his head.
Their conflict started from Dahlia’s lack of trust and Gavin’s scheming.
Gavin portrayed himself as the hero, saving the damsel in distress. He offered his timely help and appeared righteous. It made his act quite convincing.
But if Dahlia had fully trusted Dustin, this situation wouldn’t have happened either. In the end, a rift still existed between them.
“Does it still hurt?” Natasha asked tenderly.
